This web site had no advertising and no third party tracking for 14 years, with the expenses paid for by me. My web hosting services has incorporated compliance with CCPA and GDPR into their terms of service, leaving few options.
Google and Facebook have won, which is ironic since they are the real abusers of consumer privacy.

Thank you for allowing me to hand out free fish, but the era of an individual operating a free service has come and gone.
